STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Delays are reported on the Brooklyn-bound Staten Island Expressway during the Wednesday morning rush hour. A crash at Bradley Avenue is contributing to delays, likely compounded by the remnants of slush, ice and snow from a major storm that dumped about a foot of white powder on the borough last weekend. A right lane is closed during the emergency response that began around 7:45 a.m., according to 511NY.

Right now, forecast models are split. Some keep the storm far enough out to sea to spare New York City from snowfall but others show snow reaching coastal New Jersey and Long Island late Saturday into Sunday. A shift of just 50 to 100 miles in either direction could change everything, from rain versus snow to whether the city sees accumulation at all.

"A bench that mirrors the city's diversity is not just more representative-it is better equipped to deliver justice that is fair, credible, and trusted." New York City's courts shape millions of lives, yet one gap remains stark: Black men are dramatically underrepresented on the bench. Despite the city's growing diversity, political and judicial leadership has not kept pace, leaving too few Black male judges in positions of influence.
